Larchmont

This village in the town of Mamaroneck was settled by New England Quaker refugees in the 1700s.

Gradually, it became a primo summer vacation spot for wealthy Manhattanites, who were charmed by the village’s incredible Long Island Sound views. Now just a short train ride from midtown, Larchmont has evolved into a bedroom community. But many of those grandiose seaside vacation homes still stand as lovingly refurbished residences.
